Amnesty calls for Prevent strategy to be abolished over ‘human rights abuses’
Amnesty International has called for the abolition of the government’s counter-extremism strategy Prevent, accusing it of severe human rights abuses and of encouraging a culture of “thought policing”. A report by the group said Prevent’s legal duty on public sector workers, such as in schools and health, to report their suspicions was “fundamentally incompatible” with international human rights obligations. Amnesty said the legal duty led to breaches of the right to freedom of expression, freedom of thought, conscience and religion, freedom of peaceful assembly, and the right to equality and non-discrimination. The report is a blistering attack on the Prevent programme, which security officials see as one of the most important ways to stem the flow of recruits to Islamist and, increasingly, extreme rightwing terrorism. The Guardian has learned that official estimates, which have never been made public, are that since 2015 3,800 people have been turned away from a path to terrorism. But even some security officials have feared Prevent’s mission has become confused, sometimes under political pressure, and moved towards trying to capture those with unpopular extremist views who are not committing a crime.
